Good Course and a great introduction to the subject - Fantastic and engaging instructor. Due to nature of the course there is a lot of PowerPoint but the instructor ensured the material had been covered, discussed and understood before proceeding. A lot of material to cover if you are not familiar with the subject and could have done with some more exercises to re-enforce learning for each module.

Very informative material which will have great benefit for my organisation. Would have been great if the course was done over 2 days to have more participant discussions, as we can learn much of our peers within the industry. Will be looking to progress to the advanced course in the future. Keep up the great work!

4 stars out of 5
Really good material, very informative and worthwhile. I would absolutely recommend this course. The reason for 4 stars would be that there are some parts which are high level and for some this may be better over two days as it is a lot of information to digest but for sure worth doing! Thank you
